Blue Lock BLAZE BATTLE Mobile Game Shutting Down March 31, 2026

Blue Lock has the audience. BLAZE BATTLE never quite reached it. BAEL Inc. confirmed that Blue Lock BLAZE BATTLE, the 3D soccer RPG based on the anime, ends all services at 13:00 JST today, closing a title that spent just two years on the market and, for most of the franchise's international fanbase, was never properly accessible in the first place.

The game launched in March 2024 for iOS, Android, and PC via DMM Games, a year behind its initial 2023 release window. In their end-of-service notice, BAEL stated that despite daily efforts to improve the game, they concluded it would be difficult to continue delivering a service that satisfies players in the future.

For anyone managing an active account before the 13:00 JST cutoff, the exit timeline is tight but specific. New user registration closed on the day the announcement posted. Refund requests must be submitted by April 30, 2026, with full details accessible through in-game notices before the servers go dark. Community pages will go offline on May 18, 2026, the same date all stored player data is scheduled for deletion. BAEL has committed to distributing the anniversary rewards the game had planned as part of the wind-down.

What made BLAZE BATTLE a distinct entry in the Blue Lock mobile space was its 3D 11v11 match structure and action-oriented mechanics, a deliberate contrast to Project: World Champion, the franchise's other mobile title. Players built squads around characters including Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, Hyoma Nagi, Rensuke Kunigami, and Jinpachi Ego, working through cutscenes and story sequences tied to key anime moments. Those cutscenes were consistently cited as the game's standout feature.

The closure arrives with one especially pointed footnote: global players were largely excluded from experiencing BLAZE BATTLE throughout its entire run. For a franchise carrying the cultural weight Blue Lock does, the gap between IP scale and actual reach makes the two-year lifespan land harder. Version 3.3.1, released January 15, 2026, was its last update. The game exits alongside Mr. Love: Queen's Choice and Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari, part of a broader wave of anime mobile titles ending service this season.
